Yesterday, for at least one day, we did everything we could to end the war in Gaza and make our message clear. Today, we get back to work building our better future.

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by our collective task - how can I ever do enough when faced with the sheer devastation of war, genocide, and climate catastrophe?

While diplomats at the UNGA discussed the future of global affairs, the people of NY made a clear demand: stop funding war and invest in our communities.

David Orkin @david4queens.com · 25/09/2026

Yesterday, along with over 300 New Yorkers, elected officials, public figures, and activists from @jvp.bsky.social and @socialists.nyc, I demanded an end to the funding of the US and Israel’s wars.

Thank you to @rabbis4ceasefire.bsky.social, @jfrejnyc.bsky.social, @jvp.bsky.social, and Congregation Kolot Chayeinu for creating a beautiful and moving Yizkor service yesterday during Yom Kippur. I feel ready to recommit to a year of solidarity and steadfastness. G’mar tov.

New Yorkers can’t afford to wait for affordable housing, childcare, and transit. When you elect me as your Assembly Member on November 3, I’ll be working on your behalf, with the Mayor and our movement, to make sure your government delivers for working people.

This year, we have proven that we don’t have to settle for less because the powerful told us to. I’m taking today to reset and prepare myself for the work ahead. A year of challenge, shared struggle, and growth as we build the city we deserve. Shanah Tovah! 4/4

020

David Orkin @david4queens.com · 11/09/2026

I’m also thinking about the incredible wave of hope our collective movement has brought to New York - that we can have a better city. We elected an unprecedented number of socialists, made Palestine a baseline issue, and tended to our burgeoning anti-war movement. 3/4

David Orkin @david4queens.com · 11/09/2026

This year, Rosh Hashanah falls on 9/11, and my reflections are filled with 25 years of our city’s grief in its wake — those who were lost, the heroic workers, and our neighbors who continue to be profiled, surveilled, and harassed due to anti-Muslim and Sikh prejudice. 2/4

110

David Orkin @david4queens.com · 11/09/2026

Every year, Rosh Hashanah is an invitation — it begins the Days of Awe, where we take stock of the past year and set intentions for the one to come. 1/4

Proud to be the pro-choice Democrat for AD38 endorsed by @ppesacts.bsky.social! New York must remain strong in our protections of reproductive rights and gender equity. In the Assembly, I always will stand up for our healthcare, privacy, and civil liberties, and stand up to the Trump admin.

"At a time when sexual and reproductive health care are under unprecedented attack on the federal level, we need leaders who will fight to protect bodily autonomy and the fundamental right to healthcare, and that is David Orkin. David has dedicated his life to protecting and empowering the most vulnerable in our communities, and we look forward to working with him in the Assembly to defend the rights of all New Yorkers."

Solidarity with my UAW siblings at @ndsunion who demanded and won healthcare and COLA increases in their TA! As a UAW immigrant workers' rights attorney, I know fair contracts are critical to meeting the urgent needs of public defenders, social workers, and their clients alike. /1

Immigrant justice groups are anticipating an even higher level of ICE activity in NYC. Please stay aware of your surroundings, know your rights, get involved in ICE watch organizing, and use the S.A.L.U.T.E. protocol when reporting suspected raids. bsky.app/profile/make...

David Orkin @david4queens.com · 04/08/2026

The cruel deportation machine depends on silence and secrecy. We must loudly demand answers, accountability, and the abolition of ICE. New York must stand as a true sanctuary for immigrants, and end all collaboration with this rogue agency. /4

David Orkin @david4queens.com · 04/08/2026

ICE and DHS refuse to answer urgent inquiries about the dangerous conditions within the private detention center. Meanwhile, peaceful protestors inside and outside Delaney Hall are brutally repressed. /3

David Orkin @david4queens.com · 04/08/2026

Here in District 38, we've seen how our neighbors are taken out of state, often to Delaney Hall, and denied their basic due process rights, just like Mr. Lopez-Cornejo. /2

100

David Orkin @david4queens.com · 04/08/2026

I grieve the death of Edwin Lopez-Cornejo— the second person to die in custody at Delaney Hall in just 8 months, yet another casualty of Trump’s relentless attack on immigrants. We must put an end to these injustices. /1

Now endorsed by @nylcv! I look forward to working together to conserve New York’s environment, build public renewable energy, and protect our parks and water including Forest Park and Ridgewood Reservoir.

"David Orkin recognizes that climate action must go hand in hand with environmental justice. From supporting rail electrification, community solar, and freight decarbonization, to advocating for nature-based flood solutions, clean air, and expanded green jobs, David has demonstrated a comprehensive commitment to building a cleaner and more equitable future for all, and we are proud to endorse his candidacy for the New York State Assembly."
